SQL Injection Prevention and Examples

This document discusses SQL injection attacks. SQL injection targets database-backed applications by inserting SQL statements as input run by the application. Parameters, form input, URLs, and cookies can be exploited. It is the most common web application attack and has been the number one vulnerability on the OWASP Top 10 since 2010. The document provides an example of SQL injection using a vulnerable code snippet and URL. It also discusses preventing SQL injection through sanitizing and verifying inputs, escaping special characters, using ORM frameworks, and limiting database access. Finally, it describes a demo of a red and blue team performing SQL injection and detection.

SQL injection: example

Example code:
String query = “SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE custID = ’” +
[Link](“id”) + “’”;

Example URL: [Link] or ‘1’=’1


Resulting query:
SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE custID = ’’ or ‘1’=‘1’

Modify, delete data, call arbitrary code (DB and


system!)

SQL injection: prevention

Sanitize, verify inputs (server side)


Escape special characters
Use ORM frameworks
Limit access as much as possible (permissions for DB
user)
Include security testing in development/release

Regularly update CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla)

SQL injection
Red team and blue team
[Link] tools

Red team:
Can use prepared vuln.
detection script
Goal: Exploit SQLi to
find secret flag
Blue team:
Can use tools for attack detection, risk assessment
Goal: Choose correct mitigation among the offered ones
